The Meinl Classics Custom 18” Dark Crash Cymbal is a high quality crash cymbal from Meinl, featuring a darker tone with an incredibly unique dark finish. The cymbal delivers a full frequency range with a wide, full tonal spread. The explosive attack and strong projection from the crash allow you to cut through any sound you may come up against. The unique appearance of the cymbal is due to the widely spaced deep hand hammering and additional lathing that rounds out the attack and the tonal quality of the crash, providing a powerfully explosive response and smooth, warm overtones and a warmer mix of tone overall.

The Meinl Classics Custom Dark 22” Ride Cymbal packs a fantastic range of smooth, dark tones into its uniquely lathed design. This ride has it all - great stick definition, loud and cutting attack and a warm, rich wash.

With plenty of attack and aggression, this ride is ideal for heavier genres of music but still possesses a maturity and composure that services lighter musical genres. Its highly responsive feel and refined musical tones make for great delicate stickwork, but open up on this dark horse and it will drive your grooves with stunning power.  

This cymbal’s unique look is a bi-product of its manufacturing process. First, the cymbal is shaped using pressure-point tech, then precision-hammered with pinpoint accuracy before receiving additional lathing. 

Affordable price - exceptional quality. Dark cymbals don't have to be unobtainable. Meinl now introduces the snappy attack of a Meinl 8" Classics Custom Dark Splash to the series. Featuring widely spaced, deep hammering for dark, complex voicings within the metal. Additional lathing rounds out and refines those tonal qualities to provide a warm attack that retains plenty of cut.

The Custom Dark Splash responds with a rapid, punchy attack that decays instantly. Perfect for accent patterns at any tempo. There's a distinct undertone of dark roar to each hit. Meinl's consistent manufacturing methods ensure the Classics Custom Dark cymbals provide unmatched versatility, sound quality, and striking aesthetics for your kit.
